The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 9 Yinxiang
Leading Daiyu into the Yujing Pavilion, the maid who had been clever for a long time put out various pastries and fresh fruits.Daiyu sat obediently at the table and picked up the biggest and reddest apple and handed it to Yinzhen, smiling brightly, "Brother, eat." Yinzhen's heart warmed, and he stretched out his hand to rub Daiyu's little face, "Yu'er herself Eat." How did he not know that Daiyu wanted to make her laugh when she saw that she was in a bad mood?Looking at those pure and worry-free eyes, Yin Zhen felt a little lonely in his heart.He is bound to spend countless days in this court, and how lonely and cold it will be to spend time alone without this lovely person.But how could he have the heart to let Daiyu leave her parents at such a young age and stay in this high palace wall?Closing his eyes, he would have to taste the loneliness in the future after all, "Wow..."

Daiyu looked outside curiously, "Is there a baby crying?" The cry of the baby came from the foot of Duixiu Mountain, crying very pitifully.

"Who's down here?" Yinzhen frowned and asked calmly.

The maid around hurriedly went out to inquire, and came back after a while to report: "Back to the fourth elder brother, it is the thirteenth elder brother who is crying in the imperial garden."

"Where is the person waiting beside him?"

"I didn't see any waiters, only Brother Thirteen was below." The maid who replied whispered.Although this fourth elder brother is not very old, he was raised by the emperor himself since he was a child, and his demeanor and majesty at such a young age are extraordinary.

Yinzhen frowned in displeasure, thought for a while before saying: "Bring the thirteenth elder brother up."

The palace maid took the order, and after a while a boy about two years old was carried up.The child was dressed in a blue brocade dress, and he looked so white and cute, but the tears on his face and those watery eyes made people feel very distressed.Daiyu stared at the little doll with bright eyes.She has always been the only child in the Lin family, and she is the youngest in the family. Now it is so easy to see someone younger than herself, so she is naturally very curious, "Brother, is this doll a younger brother?" Yu'er's younger brother, Daiyu thought expectantly.

Yinzhen looked at her sideways, nodded, "This is the thirteenth younger brother Yinxiang." He stretched out his hand to take the tear doll from the maid's hand.Yinzhen has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and Yinxiang is only two years old, and it is not difficult to hold him.Daiyu hurriedly jumped off the stool and handed her clean handkerchief to Yinzhen, "Wipe it for my brother." Yinzhen took the handkerchief with a smile and wiped Yinxiang's face, "Yuer likes this younger brother?"

"Yeah." Daiyu nodded again and again, and quietly stretched out her little hand to poke Yinxiang's pink and tender face.Yinxiang is not afraid of life, so he sits in Yinzhen's arms and watches Daiyu giggle.Daiyu smiled happily and said: "My brother also likes Yu'er. Be good, my brother, this is my brother, I am my sister." Yinxiang turned his head to look at Yinzhen, then looked at Daiyu and called obediently: "Brother, sister ..." Looking at the intimacy in Xiao Yinxiang's eyes, Yin Zhen raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said, "My fourth brother."

"Fourth brother."

Daiyu's eyes were full of envy, and she stretched out her small hand to pull Yinxiang's, "Yu'er seems to want a younger brother too. My younger brother smiles..."

"Sister, be good..." Yinxiang also raised his little hand to grab Daiyu, and Daiyu blinked: Is my brother comforting her?Immediately, he squeezed Yinxiang's face with a smile, "My brother is good." Yinxiang frowned, raised his little hand and waved Daiyu's hand away, and buried his face in Yinzhen's arms, "Sister is bad, bullying Yinxiang Xiang." Looking at the interaction between the two children, the warmth on Yinzhen's face grew stronger.She didn't stop Daiyu from bullying Yinxiang's tender little face, she endured so much that Yinxiang went straight into his arms, and the laughter in the Yujing Pavilion kept sweeping away the slight melancholy.

"Fourth elder brother, thirteenth elder brother's nanny and maid are here to find Thirteenth elder brother." The little eunuch came in and reported softly.Hearing this, Yinxiang immediately burrowed into Yinzhen's arms, his little hand also tugged at the corner of Yinzhen's clothes and refused to let go.

Yinzhen looked down at the younger brother in his arms, and did not answer, but asked Yinxiang softly, "Thirteenth brother, why are you alone in the imperial garden?" Xiangwu whimpered and began to cry, "Woooo...Yinxiang wants Erniang, not nanny..."

"what happened?"

"Back to fourth elder brother, Master Zhang Jia of Yanxi Palace has been in poor health since she gave birth to Thirteen Gege, and I heard that she has fallen ill again in the past few days. Maybe the wet nurses and maids are a little negligent." Yinzhen pondered for a while and then I understand, Shisan's biological mother, Zhang Jia, is Huang Ama's concubine. She has been in the palace for many years and has not been canonized, and her status as not favored is a bit embarrassing.In addition, after giving birth to Shisan Gege in the past two years, she has been in poor health, so she must not be able to take care of Shisan.These slaves in the palace are usually with red tops and white, so naturally they don't care much about Yinxiang after a long time.A large group of people looked at Yinxiang and could make people get lost. These slaves really should be dealt with.

"Let Shisan's wet nurse and maid come up." Yinzhen ordered lightly.

"Slaves send greetings to the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother."

Yinxiang's wet nurse and two close maids knelt down tremblingly to pay their respects.Yinzhen ignored them, hugged Yinxiang with one hand, and gently wiped the pastry off Daiyu's lips with the other.After waiting for a while and still not seeing Yinzhen's opening, the wet nurse had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Fourth elder brother, the servants are here to pick up thirteenth elder brother." Yinxiang grabbed Yinzhen's clothes and refused to let go, Yinzhen patted him comfortingly Only then said lightly: "Go back and tell Concubine Zhang Jia's mother to change Thirteenth Brother's wet nurse and the people around him. These two days Thirteenth Brother will live with the Lord." Yinxiang's wet nurse's expression changed, and she said quickly: "Fourth elder brother forgive me, thirteenth elder brother is still young, I'm afraid I will trouble fourth elder brother."

Yinzhen said: "When he is replaced by a servant who knows how to work hard, he will naturally not bother me. I will report this matter to Huang Ama in person."

The faces of the three of them turned pale immediately, and they knelt down and begged for mercy: "I beg fourth elder brother to be merciful."

Yinzhen sneered, "Excuse me? How many of you can take care of a two-year-old child and still lose him? If something happened to the thirteenth brother today, which one of you can afford it?" Can't bear to look down on a child who has just been able to walk steadily?Yinxiang's wet nurse boldly said: "The slaves know they are wrong, please forgive me this time, and I will never dare to do this again in the future."

After pondering for a while, Yinzhen waved his hands and said, "Go to the Punishment Department to get [-] boards each, and have a long memory. Brother Tianjia, can you neglect him?" After escaping, the three were overjoyed and quickly thanked each other.Yinzhen thought about it for a while and turned his head to the little eunuch beside him and said: "Go and tell Concubine Xian, and say that it was Brother Ben who said it, and transfer Qian Cui who is next to Huang Erniang to Brother Thirteen to serve. Also, go and remind Concubine Zhang Jia that the servants around Elder Brother Thirteen will beat you more."
